DLC Worth it?

[fattony75]

I am planning on buying the TR collections just for the newest game and 6 old ones, but I am wondering, is the DLC collections for the newest one worth it?

I see like 1/2 of it is for the multiplayer, and I've heard that's dead so.... what do you all think?

[Nefarious]

All I purchased was Tomb of the Lost Adventurer and the skins, I'd say at the price those are worth it. Left out the MP stuff and the upgrades, still wondering about the upgrades though since they're so cheap right now.

Well, since it's so cheap get the "lost tomb DLC" and nothing else. This unlocks one tomb in the game.

You wouldn't miss anything if you skip on multiplayer entirely.

[SPG]

Is there any other single player dlc wirth getting besides the lost tomb?

[Risule]

There are only skins for Lara and upgrades. In my opinion skins are mostly ugly. Upgrades give you early access to certain, uhm, upgrades. This could be fine if you're playing game again (since there is no new game+ feature) and don't want to wait. But I have never bought them so I don't know how that works :/

"Lost Tomb" is "Tomb of the Lost Adventurer"?

Yeah, I can't remember all those proper names :D

I wouldn't pay for it. It adds less than 5 minutes gameplay...

This game is good, imo. But ignore the DLCs.

If DLC was Single player driven I would buy it. Unfortunately they went all out on MP DLC that nobody plays. Tomb raider use to be about Single player gaming and actual tombs. I truly miss those days.

apparently the multiplayer maps are for FFA mode only, which no one plays, so even if u plan on playing online, skip the MP DLC

[Spoiled_Milk]

yep, but not the multiplayer stuff

I found getting all the skills and weapons DLC was very helpful having them at the beginning of the game, rather finding /getting them later.

[Taberis]

Yea I did the same when I first played thorugh the game as i already had a back catalog of games to play. Thou this turned out to be one of a my favourite games and I loved every minute of it. So another way would be to play through it first time without the dlc, aside from the Tomb of course, and then buy the dlc for the second play since there isn't a new game plus.

I was just looking into this. I'm a fan since the first game (but UNTIL say just after "Legend/Anniversary") and definitely wanted to give this reboot a try. So now that it's on sale I might purchase the game itself, but the DLC seems like some of the silliest ever. I mean, this mostly looks like DLC for the sake of selling DLC.

First of all, the many individual skins... Really?... That's so obnoxiously from DLC-world, since in previous games you would be able to simply open up skins and use them without having to pay extra after having bought the game. And what's the point of it? A different look? I don't care about more than the main character "as is" to be honest.
Now, if that "camouflage"-skin would actually have an effect, please let me know, that could be cool. But I doubt it's just a visual change once again...

The same counts for the silencer, that could be fun to play with if it actually changes the way you play, if you can actually use stealth that is. Does this make a nice difference, or is it just like kind of there? Please let me know about that as well.

For the rest, it all seems multiplayer-based (except for the one piece of DLC), with just map-packs and weapons for multi-player (Are these usable in singleplay?). And I heard that the multiplayer is kind of just generic anyway, and I don't easily play multiplayer for such a game (unless it's really good) anyway. I mean, running around in modes that have been around for generations is rather boring to me. I could definitely understand that it feels tacked on just because there's a big demand in the game-market for it. In addition to the fact that this game probably needed a lot more development in terms of its main game, also having to make sure they'd maintain an iconic character and story.

Oh, and I forgot about the "upgrades". What's up with that?... Making it easier?... That's what's wrong with this generation as well, basically buying and using upgrades that are pretty much "cheats". This is the opposite of what you/they should be doing, which is making the game more challenging, because it's a game... you know... something you try to win... So rather than making it easier, they should have created something more challenging. If you consider this, then the "Ranger Mode" in "Last Light" makes a LOT more sense to buy (which you shouldn't have to), because it actually ups the difficulty rather than trying to hold your hand through the game. Anyway...

Seems like I'd be set with just the one singleplayer-DLC. Or is there more to it?

if i buy tomb rider survival edition do ineed to buy tomb rider dlc pack too or are the items included in the survival edition..?

[Taberis]

some are included, the "Guerilla Skin" in-game outfit and Three in-game weapons from "Hitman: Absolution" for use in "Tomb Raider": The Silverballer, Agency SPS 12, and HX AP-15. the rest aren't.

[StatelyPuddle]

I have a question, i buoght the survival dlc pack with the skins and the upgrades...But can i disable the upgrades? I mean i can unlock them during the game without having them from the start. Or i would like to play an insane difficulty... I think the single player dlcs worth it, now, they are almost free.
